2017 Milwaukee Film Festival – Awards Winners

Sunday, there was the annual brunch of the Milwaukee Film Festival announcing this year’s awards winners. It’s always a very nice affair and the rooftop setting at the Journeyman Hotel on a gorgeous October morning was no exception. So, without any further ado, here’s the list of winners of the 2017 Milwaukee Film Festival Awards.

In Pursuit of the Stars (dir. Jessica Farrell)
$2,500 cash, $5,000 from North American Camera, $2,500 from Independent, $5,000 from Electric Sun, and legal consultation from Dan Kattmann of Reinhart Boerner van Deuren, s.c.

Special Mention for Best Documentary Short: Little Potato (dir. Wes Hurley and Nathan M. Miller)
Special Mention for Best Screenwriting: All Exchanges Final (dir. Annabel Oakes)
Special Mention for Best Directing: Make a Wish (dir. Jonatan Etzel)

In addition, I shot some footage of the awards announcements. You’ll have to excuse an unanticipated break in the recording and not the greatest angle. If you wish, you can view the announcements below.
